Subject: [Audyssey] games with unlabelled buttons

Think about this:  You have a digital TV at home.  A remote control box
operates it.  Are the buttons labeled in braille?  Does the remote speak
when you press a button?  Now, you are totally blind and nobody else is at
home.  You want to watch channel 32 and don't know what channel the TV is
tuned to.  What do you do?  You cannot see the TV screen to see what channel
is tuned to.

Now, you have an I-Phone and want to play a game that isn't very complex.
Can you do it, even though the buttons aren't labeled?  Probably not the
first time you try, so what's your next step?  Maybe you could get a sighted
person to tell you which buttons do what when pressed, and memorize them for
future use.  Maybe you could just press them and see what they do.  I would
prefer the first approach, but it isn't always available.  If you know other
totally blind people who do play the game successfully, you could ask them
how they do it.  This, too, is a good approach.

By the way, were you able to change your TV to the channel you wanted to
watch?  Remember, those buttons probably are not labeled.
